She is an Oscar-winning actress and style icon.

And Angelina Jolie oozed elegance as she attended the Service of Commemoration and Dedication of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George at St Paul's Cathedral in London on Thursday.

According to the Daily Mail, the Maleficent star, 43, looked effortlessly chic in an ivory cowl neck gown, with a ruffled waist which showcased her toned frame as she took her seat at the service, which marked the 200th anniversary of the Order.

The brunette beauty added a touch of sparkle with a golden bejewelled brooch and slipped on matching gloves.

Adding a jaunty edge to her ensemble, she donned a beautiful ivory hat topped with a ribbon and wore her brunette locks swept up into a chignon.

The Girl, Interrupted star accentuated her pretty features with smoky shadow and fluttery lashes, while her famous pout was slicked in a rose gloss. 

The star joined the congregation for the service marking the Order's 200th anniversary this year.

The Order recognises service in a foreign country or in relation to foreign or Commonwealth affairs, such as the work of foreign service officers and diplomats.           

The Order consists of the Sovereign, Grand Master (Duke of Kent), 125 Knights and Dames Grand Cross, 375 Knights and Dames Commander and 1,750 Companions.

The Badge of the Order depicts St George fighting the dragon on one side, and the archangel St Michael trampling Satan on the other.  

Angelina was invited as a recipient of an honour from the Order. She was awarded an honorary damehood in 2014 for services to UK foreign policy and her extensive work on the campaign to end sexual violence in warzones. 

It is granted by the Queen on the Prime Minister's advice. The cathedral is the home of the Chapel of the Order of St Michael and St George, formally dedicated in 1906.  

Angelina was previously in a relationship with actor Brad Pitt, 52; they were married in August 2014 but began a relationship in 2005.

The duo, who split in September 2016, have Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and twins Vivienne and Knox, nine.

They are currently in the process of finalizing their divorce.  

The Queen was forced to cancel her appearance at the service because she is said to be suffering from a summer cold.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “The Queen is feeling under the weather today and has decided not to attend this morning's service at St Paul's Cathedral marking the 200th anniversary of the Order of St Michael and St George.”
